stage 1

[happypug]

Hi all.
I posted yesterday for first time. Perhaps you would like to know that i must be the oldest member on here at 62. I just love the 306 style and drive. For me the car looks great,and all i need to get from A to B. Not good news today though,n/s rear calliper seized and worn the pads to metal nearlly,anyone else had same probs? Ouch,£68 to repair. Maybe in the future i would do a stage 1,whats the gain in mpg and torque.
Not so happypug.

I wouldnt say its a common problem but it is uncommon if that makes sence £68 isnt a bad price if thats parts a labour, obviously the cheapest option would be to run down the scrapper and grab another caliper with the pads and jam it on yourself being such a simple job then it would be like a sub £20 jobby,

as for stage 1 dosnt really effect the MPG unless your constantly giving it the lead foot around town all the time but even then it isnt a massive decrease in MPG,

Cheers

Pro-Steve is in Bristol (google hdi tuning), or you could do it yourself if you got a kwp or galetto.

Dont most people claim an improvement in MPG with a stage 1? I know pro steve done an economy type map for someone on here, i doubt its power your after at 62! If it is then your a hero!

[CollieLaa]

Are there much gains/differences between the remap and the tuning chip/box?

Price is a big difference so il being dragged towards a chip unless anyone know anybody who does a cheap remap.

I have a 1999 306 hdi.

Avoid chip boxes at all costs


They are crap and no good for the car. there is a reason there such a difference in price!

Hi there yes you beat me I am just a mere 56! And have had a whippy remap stage 1 and yes makes a nice difference more torque and broader rev range and still seems very economical I had 425kilos In The car and done 150 miles on £23

Yea Deffo keep away from them chips on ebay, they a load of rubbish. The stage 1 remap is not that more expensive and the gains you get is unbelievable. Made it feel like a new car again and that's with 160k on mine.

Stage 1 will give you more of everything... Im running a stage 3 hdi and my mpg doesnt seem to be affected, and i have a very heavy right foot!
